LINDA STASI: White male terrorists are killing us

Is Don Lemon right — are white men our biggest terror threat?

CNN's Lemon faced a huge backlash for telling Chris Cuomo on-air that radicalized white men pose the biggest terror threat to this country.

Not that radicalized white men watch CNN, but they do watch and follow Fox News, whose host Gregg Jarrett took to Twitter to call Don Lemon a "racist, hypocrite and idiot all rolled into one." This is the now acceptable blacklash to someone being black while commenting.

Lemon was almost right. He just forgot to add the words "American citizens" to his "white males" statement. In fact, radicalized white male American citizens ARE the biggest threat to our country right now.

Lemon, who has been the target of death threats, as have I and too many other journalists, and whose own network CNN was the target of a bomb by a white American male, simply spoke the truth. In fact, white American men have been THE deadliest mass shooters in our country over the last decade. If that's not terror, please define what terror is.

The increase of mass shootings of innocent people by disgruntled white males has become an endemic epidemic in the United States. And the all-powerful NRA, backer of assault weapons sales, should be listed as a terrorist organization and facilitator of mass murder.

The unhinged, hate-filled white American males are the ones killing innocent Americans en masse — not as President Trump would have us believe, poor refugees often on foot traveling over 1,000 miles in a bid to escape death and save their children.

Not true? Fake news? Judge for yourself. Here then are the most recent and deadliest mass shootings to see just why black man Don Lemon is so tragically correct about white men.

Baldwin’s a parking bully from way back

Alec Baldwin's wife's Down Dogging and Ommming hasn't worked. He got arrested for allegedly punching a guy out over a parking spot on Friday.

Q: Why would a guy who has enough bucks to hire Mario Andretti to park his car need to fight over parking spots?

Answer: Baldwin has always been a berserk parking spot bully.

Back in 1997 when my cousin John Venturo, was new on the East Hampton police force, he saw a perfectly healthy master of the universe pull into handicapped spot. Yeah, it was him.

"I was going to have to arrest him because of how he was acting, but I ultimately decided to issue him summonses," Venturo said. "He called the precinct and went nuts on the phone F-bombing me. It was the only civilian complaint I ever had in 22 years in law enforcement.

Thing is, all the usual "do you know who I am's" just won't work with the East Hampton police — unless you're, say, the President. Everyone there knows who the President is because he's the guy played by Alec Baldwin on SNL.

Call him Whitey bludgeon

You can't kiss someone on the street without surveillance cameras recording your every move, so how in hell did maybe three convicts in a high-security prison manage to push 89-year-old sociopath/rat/killer Whitey Bulger in his wheelchair out of sight of a camera, bludgeon him with a lock in a sock, try to gouge out his eyes and cut out his tongue, leaving him in his cell like Norman Bates' dead mother, without guards discovering the stiff until the next morning?

Giving new meaning to "deadlock," the killer lock they used is a $6.50 item available in the prison commissary. It's probably right next to the chisels.

What’s worse: Polls, pols or pundits?

Pols live for polls, polls exist so that pundits who exist for polls have something to talk about on news shows, despite having no clue about anything. You'd have a better chance of an accurate election prediction with a telephone psychic.

Why then, do polls even exist? Good question. And who the hell exactly do pollsters poll — people who are home all day watching the aforesaid news show who are home answering their landlines?

Close. Poll companies digital-dial all listed numbers — and who in their right mind would actually list their cell phone number? They also use random digital dialing of unlisted numbers to spam people, at which point if you are sane, you either hang up on them or curse them out.

Thus, the great accuracy of polling.

The latest polls have Democrats poised to retake the House, and the GOP to retain the senate.

As true as how Trump would get his ass whupped by Hillary, Rep. Joe Crowley had no competition, Jeb Bush would be the nominee, Merrick Garland would be confirmed for the Supreme Court.

Oh, and did you hear? Dewey defeated Truman. The polls wouldn't lie.

Pence’s ‘rabbi’ makes some folks rabid

Evangelical Vice President Pence's invitation for a Jews-for-Jesus "rabbi" to pray at a memorial for the victims horrifically slain at the Tree of Life synagogue was a slap in the face to Jews, maintains former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.

"It's an offense!" he said. "The Vice President should have invited a rabbi who reflects the Jewish religion. We all have the right to our own religious beliefs, and these congregants were murdered honoring theirs, yet [Pence] invited a messianic rabbi to preside at a memorial for the Jewish people! It is a great, great offensive to Jews worldwide."

Amen to that, brother. Amen to that.

Carnival cruise ship chaos

It was bound to happen.

Carnival's Sunshine cruise ship listed way over on the first night out, causing panic and chaos. Glasses flew, dishes tumbled, people screamed. The captain said it was the fault of the ship's fin stabilizer. He lied.

Have you ever been on one of these ships when they announce the all-you-can-eat buffet on the starboard side? It's enough to capsize a ship let alone list it to one side.

Cruising: If you don't get Legionnaire's Disease, fall off, get pushed off, disappear, (300 people have fallen overboard since 2000), are left in the dark to avoid pirates or get stranded at sea, you'll for sure gain a minimum of 50 pounds and run the risk of being trampled by passengers marauding to the chocolate fountain.

Your life depends on this

If you don't realize how dangerous it is for our President to think he can change the constitution at will, call the media the enemy of the people who are responsible for the violence, please put your head back on.

Reality check: If a falsehood slips through legit media we MUST run a correction. The President has lied over 5,000 times according to the Washington Post ticker, but doesn't have to run a correction or even proffer an apology.
